Here's my list of the Top Ten funniest films ever made!!!!
10.
Austin Powers (1997). Crazily funny series by Mike Myers. Building on his success from Wayne's World he brought his brand of humour to a truly worldwide audience. Shag-a-delic baby yeah!!!
9.
Team America: World Police (2004). Captures the political zeitgeist, oh, and it's painfully funny and painful to watch!

8.
Ace Ventura (1994). Aaaaaaallllllrrighty then!!!!!!!!!!!

7.
Hot Fuzz (2007). Just seeing Nick Frost run through that fence was enough for me. Love the way Simon Pegg makes his films and TV series. If you liked this, you'll love Spaced.

6.
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004). Possibly the most quotable movie in this list and it's a pity I couldn't place it higher. Infinitely silly and yet slightly believable. Just hope the sequel can live up this gem. Ferrell = Legend
Trailer
5.
Dumb and Dumber (1994). Are these guys the dumbest men in the world? Quite possibly. Jim Carrey's finest hour, ably supported by Jeff Daniels. You gotta love the scene when they get pulled over by the cop on the bike....

4.
Borat (2006) shows just how clever and ingenious Sacha Baron Cohen really is. Following on from his Ali G persona, Borat is dispatched to the USA. Just to sit back and let this work of art wash over you is such a treat. See just how silly people can be when they are pointed in the right (or wrong) direction. Scarily and worryingly real.

3.
The crew and passengers are in trouble as the pilot is taken ill, but the only pilot on board is afraid of flying! Airplane (1980) is a laugh a minute- and one of those films that you can see over a 100 times and still see new gags. Very well layered, very clever, very silly- very funny

2.
"Bwian eh? Your father was a Woman?" Monty Python's Life of Brian (1979) caused huge controversy when it first hit our screens in 1979, and almost wasn't made, but thank god it was! The Pythons are at their genius best making everyone laugh whilst poking fun with the authorities. The script and plot are as wonderfully surreal as the jokes are intelligent. A delight.

1.
The Naked Gun (1988) is, in my opinion, easily the funniest film ever made- far outstripping even the geniuses from Monty Python. Everything from the way Leslie Nielsen plays Frank Drebin to the gag-a-line plot is absolutely hilarious! A personal favourite would be when Ed Hocken (George Kennedy) is leafing through the the papers after Drebin 'saved' the Queen from an assassination attack, "I hate the way they splash this stuff all over the papers, you, with the Queen of England, her legs straddled round you Frank... and they call that news...." Absolute genius, absolutely the best. I've watched this film over a 100 times and it's still brilliant.
